- This dimensional relationship may be used to control the angle at which the insertion leg 40 may be passed into and out of the slot 38 , e.g., to prevent inadvertent removal during assembly, adjustment and disassembly of the light shelf assembly 10 (and consequently the orientations of the shelf 14 that enable/disable these functions).

- the pivoting of the insertion leg 40 is conducted while the insertion leg 40 is positioned proximate the lip 68 , allowing the abutment leg 46 to clear the lower bracket 32 as it swings upward.
- FIG. 4 e shows that once the abutment leg 46 is clear of the lower bracket 32 and held at an angle B relative to the horizontal H, the insertion leg 40 can be slid back to the rear wall 64 , bringing the abutment block 46 over the abutment support surface 70 .
- FIG. 4 f shows that when the shelf 14 is then swung down to the horizontal position, the abutment leg 46 or the adjustment set screw 61 (see FIG. 3 ) comes to rest upon the abutment support surface 70 and the insertion leg 40 pivots up into engagement with the recess 74 and is held in that position by the force of gravity G.
- the insertion leg 40 engaging the recess 74 resists forces directed perpendicular to the support member 12 b, and in cooperation with the abutment leg 46 and abutment support surface 70 , provides a cantilevered mounting for the shelf 14 , which is held in a horizontal orientation. If removal of the shelf 14 is desired, it can readily be accomplished by reversing the foregoing procedure.
- the shelf 14 can be adjusted between a depending orientation to a horizontal orientation and installed and removed from a mounted receiver 26 without tools.
- one or more set screws 79 may be used to adjust the angle of the shelf 14 . More particularly, the degree to which the set screw 79 protrudes through the abutment leg 46 and pushes the abutment leg away from the abutment surface 70 can be adjusted by turning the screw 79 in or out, varying the angle of the shelf 14 relative to the horizontal orientation.
- FIG. 5 shows a corner 80 , e.g., of a room in which a pair of light shelf assemblies 82 a, 82 b have been installed.
- the light shelf assemblies 82 a, 82 b have similar features as the light shelf assembly 10 described above in reference to FIGS. 1-4 , except for mitered edges 84 a, 84 b, which allow close relative juxtaposition in corner 80 .

FIG. 1 shows alight shelf assembly 10 mounted to structural members 12 a, 12 b, e.g., metal studs of a wall of a building or a mounting framework for a plurality or array of light shelves, e.g., stacked one above another with a spacing there between. Theassembly 10 may include ashelf 14 with apanel 16 formed from sheet metal, such as aluminum or an aluminized plastic to confer reflectivity to the surface(s) of thepanel 16. Thepanel 16 may be painted with reflective paint, such as aluminum or white paint. In addition, thepanel 16 could be made from a polymeric material, which could be translucent or opaque. Alternatively, thepanel 16 may be composed of a variety of rigid or flexible materials with a variety of visual characteristics. In the embodiment shown, thepanel 16 is supported in aframe 18, e.g., made from extruded aluminum alloy, like that used to make aluminum windows and doors. Alternatively, the frame may be made from other materials, such as plastic, wood, stainless steel or other types of metals. Theframe 18 and/orpanel 16 is attached to abase member 20 that spans the width of thepanel 16 andframe 18. As shall be described further below, thebase member 20 is connectable to a structure viamounting assemblies 22, 24. -
FIGS. 2 and 3 show that the mounting assemblies, 22, 24 feature a receiver portion 26 (receiver) and an inserter portion 28 (inserter). Thereceiver 26 may be fastened to a support member, such as structural member 12 a or 12 b, viafasteners 30, such as bolts, screws, rivets, nails, etc. Alternatively, thereceiver 26 may have other coupling features, such as integral hooks that insert into apertures in a structural member 12 a or 12 b, similar to peg board hooks or other conventional removable shelf hooks. In the embodiment shown, thereceiver 26 may be used in both mountingassemblies 22 and 24 to support both sides of theshelf 14, such that specialized right and left receivers are not required. Thereceiver 26 has alower bracket 32 and anupper bracket 34 which extend laterally from anupright portion 36, which extends longitudinally and which receives thefasteners 30 to hold thereceiver 26 to a structural member 12 a or 12 b. As described below in reference toFIG. 11 , in another embodiment, thelower bracket 32 and theupper bracket 34 may extend at different angles relative to theupright portion 36 to accommodate different installation requirements. Thelower bracket 32 and theupper bracket 34 are separated by aslot 38. The inserter 28 has aninsertion leg 40, a pair ofbase attachment legs 42, 44, and anabutment leg 46 with anextension 48 to which theframe 18 may be attached. As described below in reference toFIGS. 8 a-10 c, theinserter 26 may utilize features that promote bending of an overloaded mounting assembly too avoid disengagement from a structural member 12 a, 12 b. The inserter 28 may be fastened to abase member 20 by sliding thebase attachments legs 42, 44 into a hollow 50 of thebase member 20, and retained therein byfasteners 52 that are received inapertures 54. Similarly, theframe 18 is held to theextension 48 by fasteners 56 andapertures 58. Agroove 60 may be provided in thebase member 20 to receive apanel 16, which is not shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 . The depth and width of thegroove 60 may be varied to accommodatepanels 16 having different sizes and thicknesses. A set screw 61 is received in threaded aperture 61 a inabutment leg 46 and may be used to adjust the position of theshelf 14, i.e., by encounteringabutment support surface 70 and pushing theabutment leg 46 away from theabutment surface 70 to a selected degree. -
FIG. 4 a shows areceiver 26 fastened to a structural member 12 b juxtaposed next to an inserter 28. The inserter 28 has aninsertion leg 40 and anabutment leg 46. Aframe 18 is attached to the inserter 28 and depends downwardly therefrom for supporting a panel 16 (not depicted) of ashelf 14. Theshelf 14 would typically be held by a person (installer) in their hands and lifted and moved through the sequence of movements shown inFIGS. 4 a-4 f in order to assemble and position the inserter 28 into thereceiver 26 to hold theshelf 14 at a desired position. Thelower bracket 32 of thereceiver 26 has afloor 62 extending between a back wall 64 and a front wall 66, which extends upwardly to form alip 68. Thelip 68 is adjacent anabutment support surface 70. Theupper bracket 34 has a downwardly depending block 72 which defines arecess 74 proximate back wall 64 and a relief 76 opposite to thelip 68 of thelower bracket 32, which defining athreshold gap 78 through which theinsertion leg 40 may be passed into theslot 38. -
FIG. 4 b shows theinsertion leg 40 as it is inserted into thethreshold gap 78. In the embodiment shown, theinsertion leg 40 has a rectangular cross-section, such that the insertion leg will only clear thethreshold gap 78 if held in the orientation depicted, i.e., with the smaller dimension of the rectangular cross-section of theinsertion leg 40 parallel to thethreshold gap 78, i.e. extending across thegap 78. This dimensional relationship may be used to control the angle at which theinsertion leg 40 may be passed into and out of theslot 38, e.g., to prevent inadvertent removal during assembly, adjustment and disassembly of the light shelf assembly 10 (and consequently the orientations of theshelf 14 that enable/disable these functions). In the embodiment shown inFIG. 4 b, theshelf 14 is perpendicular to the horizon/ground for insertion. Thethreshold gap 78 may be modified to permit/require different angles of insertion of theinsertion leg 40 and may be enlarged so as to allow insertion at any angle. - As shown in
FIG. 4 c, once past thethreshold gap 78, theinsertion leg 40 may drop down and rest on thefloor 62 proximate thelip 68. Since a pair of mountingassemblies 22, 24 may be used to support ashelf 14, the engagement between the inserter portion 28 and thereceiver portion 26 may take place on the mountingassemblies 22, 24 on opposite sides of thebase member 20, such that theshelf 14 may be hung in the position shown inFIG. 4 c without the support of a person. The installer can therefore release thelight shelf 10 and it will hang from theassemblies 22, 24. -
FIGS. 4 d and 4 e show that theshelf 14 can be pivoted up on theinsertion leg 40 within theslot 38 and slid back until theinsertion leg 40 encounters back wall 64. As shown inFIG. 4 d, the pivoting of theinsertion leg 40 is conducted while theinsertion leg 40 is positioned proximate thelip 68, allowing theabutment leg 46 to clear thelower bracket 32 as it swings upward.FIG. 4 e shows that once theabutment leg 46 is clear of thelower bracket 32 and held at an angle B relative to the horizontal H, theinsertion leg 40 can be slid back to the rear wall 64, bringing theabutment block 46 over theabutment support surface 70. -
FIG. 4 f shows that when theshelf 14 is then swung down to the horizontal position, theabutment leg 46 or the adjustment set screw 61 (seeFIG. 3 ) comes to rest upon theabutment support surface 70 and theinsertion leg 40 pivots up into engagement with therecess 74 and is held in that position by the force of gravity G. Theinsertion leg 40 engaging therecess 74 resists forces directed perpendicular to the support member 12 b, and in cooperation with theabutment leg 46 andabutment support surface 70, provides a cantilevered mounting for theshelf 14, which is held in a horizontal orientation. If removal of theshelf 14 is desired, it can readily be accomplished by reversing the foregoing procedure. As can be appreciated, theshelf 14 can be adjusted between a depending orientation to a horizontal orientation and installed and removed from a mountedreceiver 26 without tools. Referring toFIGS. 2 and 3 , one or more set screws 79 may be used to adjust the angle of theshelf 14. More particularly, the degree to which the set screw 79 protrudes through theabutment leg 46 and pushes the abutment leg away from theabutment surface 70 can be adjusted by turning the screw 79 in or out, varying the angle of theshelf 14 relative to the horizontal orientation. -
FIG. 5 shows acorner 80, e.g., of a room in which a pair of light shelf assemblies 82 a, 82 b have been installed. The light shelf assemblies 82 a, 82 b have similar features as thelight shelf assembly 10 described above in reference toFIGS. 1-4 , except for mitered edges 84 a, 84 b, which allow close relative juxtaposition incorner 80. As before, the light shelf assemblies 82 a, 82 b are mounted tostructural members 86, e.g., studs of a wall of a building or a mounting framework for a plurality or array of light shelves. The light shelf assemblies 82 a, 82 b may include a shelf 88 a, 88 b, with a panel 90 a, 90 b, respectively, formed from the same type of materials described above in reference to the embodiment shown inFIG. 1 . The panels 90 a, 90 b may be supported in acorresponding frame 92 a, 92 b, respectively, e.g., made from extruded aluminum alloy, like that used to make aluminum windows and doors. Alternatively, theframe 92 a, 92 b may be made from other materials, such as plastic, wood, stainless steel or other types of metals. Theframes 92 a, 92 b and/or panels 90 a, 90 b are attached to base members 94 a, 94 b. As before, the base members 94 and 94 b are connectable to a structure via mounting assemblies 96 a, 96 b that are like the mountingassemblies 22, 24 described above, but also by mitered corner mounting assemblies 98 a, 98 b that have features providing a relative mitered fit one to another. -
FIGS. 6 and 7 show that the mitered mounting assemblies, 98 a, 98 b feature areceiver portion 100 having a miteredface 102 which is disposed at angle C, e.g., 45 degrees relative to opposingface 104. Theinserter portion 106 features anextension 108 with adistal portion 110 that extends from aroot portion 112 at an angle D, e.g., 135 degrees. Theangled extension 108 holdsframe 92 a at acute angle E, e.g., 45 degrees, relative to base member 94 a when coupled to theinserter portion 106.End 114 offrame 92 a is cut at an angle F, e.g., 45 degrees, to coverdistal portion 110 up to theroot portion 112. As shown inFIG. 5 , the mitered mounting assemblies 98 a, 98 b are mirror images of one another, such that they conjoin in a complementary, mitered relationship to fit incorner 80. Beyond the foregoing differences, the mitered mounting assemblies 98 a, 98 b are constructed and function in a similar manner to the mountingassemblies 22, 24 described above in relation toFIGS. 1-4 . - Each of
FIGS. 8 a-10c show inserters 120. 130. 140, respectively, which have the same basic form and function as theinserters 28 and 106 described above with respect toFIGS. 1-7 , but illustrating different approaches to limiting the bending strength thereof. More particularly,FIGS. 8 a and 8 b show aninserter 120 having anaperture 122 extending through theinserter 120 proximate the junction of theextension 126 and theabutment leg 128 and having an orientation approximately perpendicular to the threaded aperture 124 (which would receive an adjustment set screw (not shown) like screw 61 ofFIG. 3 ). Theaperture 122 is dimensioned to reduce the bending strength of theinserter 120, such that theextension 126 is likely to bend relative to theabutment leg 128 prior to the failure of mounting screws 30 (SeeFIG. 3 ) holding a cooperatingreceiver 26, e.g., as shown inFIG. 3 . In the instance of an unexpected loading of a light shelf, e.g., 14 or 88 a, e.g., due to an installer pulling on theshelf 14 or 88 a, bending is preferred in that it occurs more gradually, allowing perception of the bending movement and corrective action to be taken (encouraging the installer to stop pulling on the shelf. In addition, early bending limits the amount of force that can build up in the system. -
FIG. 11 shows areceiver 150 affixed to astructural member 152 that is disposed at an angle K relative to plumb P. Thereceiver 150 has alower bracket 154 and an upper bracket 156 that extend from thebase attachment leg 158 at an angle that, in cooperation with aninserter 160 supports thelight shelf 162 in a horizontal orientation. Areceiver 26 like that shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 would have an orientation like that illustrated by thelower bracket 164 shown in dotted lines, if installed on an angledstructural member 152 and would require a re-orientation through angle Q, in order to hold the shelf horizontal. Areceiver lower bracket upper bracket 34, 156 orientation that provides a desired incidence angle I and reflection angle R for light L, such that the reflected light RL is directed to a desired location within a given building for any givenstructural member 12 a, 152 orientation. - It will be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely exemplary and that a person skilled in the art may make many variations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the claimed subject matter. For example, while the disclosure has been expressed in terms of apparatus for supporting light shelves, the apparatus disclosed herein could be utilized to support other types of horizontal members, shelves and support surfaces, e.g., storage shelves. All such variations and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
